Vice President Vance on Tuesday hailed progress on trade talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing optimism about a deal with India<\/a> as it tries to avoid being hit with hefty tariffs<\/a> from President Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs many of you are aware, both of our governments are hard at work on a trade agreement built on shared priorities, like creating new jobs, building durable supply chains and achieving prosperity for our workers,\u201d Vance said in remarks at the Rajasthan International Center in Jaipur.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cin our meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Modi and I made very good progress on all those points, and we are especially excited to formally announce that America and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation. I think this is a vital step.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vice president\u2019s comments received applause from the crowd, which was made up of business leaders and students, according to reporters traveling<\/a> with Vance in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe this is a vital step toward realizing President Trump\u2019s and Prime Minister Modi\u2019s vision, because it sets a road map toward a final deal between our nations,” he said. “I believe there is much that America and India can accomplish together.”<\/p>\n

The vice president also warned though of a \u201cdark time\u201d ahead if the U.S. and India don\u2019t collaborate<\/a> economically.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that if India and the United States work together successfully, we\u2019re going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful,” Vance continued. “But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity.”<\/p>\n

The vice president met with Modi at his residence Monday, after which they had an expanded meeting with members from the U.S. and India delegations and a family dinner with second lady Usha Vance and their three children.<\/p>\n

The talks come as India was hit with a 26 percent import tax<\/a> briefly before Trump paused the country-specific tariff program<\/a> for most countries for 90 days, keeping his 10 percent baseline tariffs<\/a> in place.<\/p>\n

The U.S. is India\u2019s largest trading partner, and\u00a0the country is aiming to avoid\u00a0being hit hard from tariffs<\/a> that could impact its agriculture, processed food and medical equipment industries, among others.<\/p>\n

While in India, Vance and his family visited the Akshardham Temple and met with temple officials on Monday. They also greeted U.S. Embassy staff before leaving New Delhi to travel to Jaipur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
